This course provides the knowledge and applicable skills on macronutrient structure and function to drive healthier dietary choices; quantitative and simpler qualitative strategies for effective weight loss; and easy-start environmental control strategies to deliver game-changing results, and turn clients into weight-loss champions.

Each trainer will walk away understanding that this program is based on applied functional exercises that create core strength, improve flexibility and posture for all levels of students not dancers! You will understand why we do not require a student to tuck tighten and externally rotate the feet as it is causing many injuries to the low back in many students who have attended barre classes and nor do we over utilize the hip flexors. Beyond Barre is authentic, progressive and creates critical thinking trainers who look at each student individually. SCW (8.0).AFAA (4.0), ACE (0.6) No CPR card required.
